CHAPTER 444: CHAPTER 444: BOUGHT A BUILDING

Bai Qing cracked a smile and said, "Yeah, stole it right from under you."

Tang Yue, upon hearing this, had a flash of insight and asked, "Sister Qing, could this possibly be the money earned from that one million?"

"Exactly," Bai Qing nodded affirmatively, "it’s the money earned from that one million, totaling one million three hundred thousand. The remaining one million is still in stocks."

"In such a short time, you’ve made so much?" Even though Lian Qingyang’s family was wealthy, this money seemed too easy to come by.

"That’s right, and who do you think helped you make it?" Bai Qing said with pride.

Lian Qingyang swallowed hard and said, "Well, since it’s earned, let’s split it three ways, four hundred and thirty thousand each."

"Sure thing." Bai Qing didn’t hesitate at all.

But Tang Yue felt it was a hot potato.

"Sister Xiao Yue, it’s all earned after all. Earning four hundred and thirty thousand from one million in such a short time, I’m already quite satisfied," Lian Qingyang said gleefully, without feeling anything was amiss.

Tang Yue said, "If you really want to split it, why don’t we three use this money for investment instead?"

"Sister Xiao Yue, you handle that," Lian Qingyang pushed the money forward.

Tang Yue asked, "Really leave it to me to handle?"

Lian Qingyang nodded affirmatively, "Of course, it’s all yours." His words conveyed full trust in Tang Yue.

Bai Qing also said, "Mine too, it’s all yours."

"Alright." Tang Yue zipped the backpack again, "We can use this money to buy land and build houses."

"And then?" Bai Qing asked.

Lian Qingyang also looked at her expectantly.

"And then..." Tang Yue drew out her voice, "rent them out, of course."

Bai Qing blinked and said, "One million three hundred thousand, how many houses can you build with that?"

"Not many," Tang Yue said with a smile. She hadn’t thought about it before, but now it seemed like a good idea. Although there weren’t many shopping malls around, many were under construction. If she could find a bustling location to build houses in advance, then just with the rental income, the capital could be recouped.

"Sister Xiao Yue, you handle it," Lian Qingyang said trustingly.

Bai Qing shrugged to indicate she had no objection.

Tang Yue carefully explained her idea, but Lian Qingyang was yawning as if it was all Greek to him, and Bai Qing didn’t seem too interested either.

Alright, perhaps it would be better to just give them dividends later.

After returning, Tang Yue started considering where to build. Jing City is the capital, with rapid development – this goes without saying. Now the remote areas, in ten or twenty years’ time, they will be prime locations.

One million three hundred thousand, it’s neither too much nor too little. Tang Yue set her sights on Nanyang Commercial Street.

The street was in the process of being built. Maybe it was fate, one of the projects on Nanyang Commercial Street, with only the framework built, needed urgent funds due to the owner’s issue, so he decided to sell. The price wasn’t too high, but the area hadn’t flourished yet – who could tell if the investment would just go down the drain?

Hence, the place had yet to be sold.

Tang Yue was nearby buying food by chance when she heard about it. She thought: If I take over, would it be a huge bargain?

This commercial street, Tang Yue had heard about it. Those who come to Jing City and don’t visit this street might as well have not come at all.

Such a good location, such a good opportunity, Tang Yue seized decisively. Even if she couldn’t set up a mall like Jinghua Mall in the future, just renting out with such a prime location would be very profitable.

Tang Yue even dragged Tang Mingli to take a look. Tang Mingli said, "This place is nice. In the future, when it gets crowded, selling anything here should make money, right?"

"Uncle, how about we move our Mingyue Clothing Store here in the future?" Tang Yue said excitedly. Although it wasn’t as high-end as Star Bright, it was down-to-earth here, suitable for Mingyue Clothing Store’s customer spending level.

"Great." Tang Mingli was excited. If only he had the money now, he would also want to buy a shop here.

After a while, when Tang Yue paid the money and bought the entire building with just the structural frame, Tang Mingli was stupefied.

"Xiao Yue, you just bought it like that?" Tang Mingli felt it was too rash; this wasn’t like buying a house – it was a whole building!

Buying it as if it were just a cabbage?

"Uncle, when you see something good, you have to go for it. If we’re slow, others will benefit, right?" Tang Yue happily paid, feeling like she got a huge bargain.

One million two hundred thousand for a whole building!

When Tang Yue got the contract, she felt her whole being filled with bubbles of happiness.

If it weren’t for the urgent need of the owner to sell, she wouldn’t have had the chance to pick up such a big bargain.

Of course, she was very prudent about the contract, specially inviting someone from a law firm to review it to ensure there were no loopholes or fraud, before she dared to sign.

The land was registered in the names of Lian Qingyang, Tang Yue, and Bai Qing.

When splitting the one million three hundred thousand, Tang Yue pondered for a long time. Money begets money the fastest. Without Lian Qingyang’s capital, the profits would not have been earned, but without her and Bai Qing’s insight, the money would have just been sitting in a bank earning mere interest, nothing compared to the one million three hundred thousand profits.

With the remaining one million capital, Tang Yue was confident she could have Lian Qingyang earn more in the stock market. The money earned this time would be split evenly, but next time, it would all go to Lian Qingyang.

Tang Yue took the contract to find Lian Qingyang, "Qingyang, this time the three of us will own a building in the future Nanyang Commercial Street."

"Impressive." Lian Qingyang gave her a thumbs-up. He wasn’t much interested in business matters, but his capital had turned into a building in just a few months, which made him admire Tang Yue genuinely.

Bai Qing didn’t understand these things and said, "I don’t care about all that, Xiao Yue, just give me my dividends later."

"Okay," Tang Yue said, "This building, at full count, has three and a half floors. The first floor can be used for attracting merchants to rent out, the second floor could be a large shopping supermarket, and the third floor can also be rented out. The half floor left over, let’s use that for our office."

"Sister Xiao Yue, large supermarkets also need money, right?" Bai Qing asked.

Lian Qingyang looked at Tang Yue, not quite understanding either.

"We don’t have money, but we can rent it out," Tang Yue said. She was actually interested in opening a supermarket, but due to insufficient funds at the moment, that plan could wait. For now, the building would just sit here.

Weekend.

Tang Yue carried a pot of hot soup to the hospital.
